JULY 16TH 1869 3yad't^G'IO.YISTS BROULD BE iSIST TRE LA URI ERR GOMM'S- S'ION r, Laurier seems inclined to give am government by commission. The =mew is tat he will, appoint commis - :ins to investigate this andinquire in :trtt; and that he will base his action e the reports of these bodies. Among :ter thing, it is said that he will sub ati life" tariff question to a commission. i luu will prolong the era of uncertainty. WI :h is so full of danger to the iudrts community, will saddle upon us eier::thing very like an imitatioa Of likl! American system by which thetar- a3 to made iu committee with an airte- rev= full of presp,ctive beneficiaries 'ate It will also make it possible for the teeetry to lay full infortnatiou before hitt Government prior to final action on .9is part. '+'o the business man who does not eat habitually through political spec- a.e,des, it will appear self-evident that se:, 'ibis tariff commission should sit re- latr:entatiy•es of the two great schools s ;ainion touching the question; that . there should be Protectionist coni "w irsioners as well as revenue tariff 3imissioners. The commission, it will lee remembered, will have no executive wiser. Its only duty can be to dis- iiiT,'ar the facts—to find out how certain "sf ehanges will affect certain indus- reh ; and the country generally, In or - ",o accomplish this with any zhor- ::;,g,suess, it,ought not to be composed s raen who have prejudged the case, aseemelusively of men who either favor .er oppose the protective system. .Government commissions are, indeed lever one-sided concerns. When lir, :::"fuer named' his famous commission in etei prohibition question he did not se lira Prohibitionists only or Anti-Prohi 'i ionists only. He appointed men of :learn opinions on both sides of the =eater in dispute, and sent them out to .it:.irn the facts- We venture the asser- :Sea that when Mr. Laurier constructs l»y promised commission to look into Lt Manitoba school question he will ..net confine himself either to Catholics Ye 110 Protestants or to men who favor zsenerate schools or to triose who oppose tam. So when he cores to deal with eees tariff question, the point at issue i;: a„ how much protection should be Jeeeerved and how much should be cut . l v, he should surely choose fcr com- ,ssioners men of both opinions. Es- esei.relly is this so when he does not , e end that his purpose is to destroy .proteetion in the tariff at a blow ,h. wants to retain a certain measure protection—a task with which a com- ssion of free traders would be utter. ;is unable to r.fi'ord him any sympathe- fr.:help. Men who believe in protecting t us' industries are conspicuously the mem to advise the Ministry in the mat - of framing a tariff that is to be, in a i e sure, protective. In any case, both hes should be represented on a com- -sr ssion charged to collect the facts; and ^cially in a case in which some pro leettlon is to be preserved should protec :gin opinion be represented. THE SPOILED BALLOTS. Tiroadiy speaking, there are two class- eessi men who spoil ballots. The one latS3 do so deliberately; either to avoid .xaelerg or'in the course of a dishonest menet to so mark the ballot as to show ,.:52 a briber who has bought them that Steen- have delivered the goods. The edger class spoil their ballots through a misunderstanding of the way in which &lots should be narked. It is easy Ste, x•11 this last class "stupid," 'out stat - ,*.ay is not a bar to the possession of franchise, and the application of an .t: +bbet does not, as a rule, solve a prob- lem. A ballot ought to be devised s:,ch,if possible,would be proof against 'lznli of these kinds of attack. One "meld fancy that the ballot now in use .fpr emphatically suggests the way in :e33ish it should be marked that no one : 'a$t1 blunder through mistake. Yet tre pnrently even this feat has been, ac- taaaapiished, unless we suppose that 5: hers all over ,the country and on 'Seel sides have entered tato a conspir vary of stupidity by which they instruc- %et their victims to mark their ballots Bach a way as to make their identi rattion very doubtful and the count - :in of their yotes more doubtful still, 1 i suggested that the ballot might ?M.made all black, with the exception r+ ' the circular' spaces opposite the names --the names themselves being printed. iiew6ite- view of rendering it impos- t:Belt to mark the bail?ot in anotherP lace rids would undoubtedly be an improve themselves, but most of thein have the fatal weakness of complication; and unless it be intended to follow the ex- ample of some of the Southern States and practically disenfranchise: the il- literate by complicating the' task of voting, the ballot must first of all be simple: ' The large crop of spoiled bal- lots this time would seem to argue against making changes in the form of young paper, The electors apparently get used to one, form, and are "rattled" by an improyeniont, The blacking of the entire ballot, except the circular spaces, would, however, not be a change likely to further confuse the unlettered voter, while it would make it immea•' sur<iblp harder for the corrupt,' voter to make sure that his ballot would be. both identified and counted.

Grape vines are almost breaking under the weight of their burdens, and small fruit trees promise an abundant yield.

BRYAN THE MAN, The rouri„ Nebraskan Captures the Chi- cago Convention. Chicago, July 10, eW. J. Bryan of Ne- braska was selected tC-.day as the stand- ard-bearer in the eampaigii for the Pres- idency of the United States, Yesterday when :.the handsome young Nebraskan mounted the rostrum; in the Convention Hail to close the debate on the party platform he was considered the merest possibility in the race for the honor to be conferred half an hour later. When ho concluded Ms great rhetorical effort he had become a seelning probability.. With the hours of the night his chances grew, and when the convention resumed business this morning he had been es- tablished as Richard P. Bla•nd's most formidable competitor. As the balloting progressed his popularityaamong the dele- gates became more and more appar- ent and his strength in votes went by leaps and bounds until the culmina- tion came in the Capture of Illinois and Ohio and the withdrawal of Bland, with the consequent transfer of Missouri to the Bryan column. 'There were no glar- ing transparencies,' no life-sized litho- graphs, no special bands of musitt to at- tract to the eloquent young lawyer and newspaper man. The modest banner of the William J. Bryan Club, a Nebraska organization was the only conspicuous. emblem of tho Bryan cause. During the night a standard had been prepared bear- ing the concluding words : of Bryan's speech of yesterday: "No crown of thorns; nn.cross of gold," zind this alone, was the most suggestive outward 'indica- tion that the Nebraskan was in the race: to stay, THE BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS, But it needed no artificial moans sue+h as those to keep the name of Bryan to the fore. His striking presence, Ms ear- liest hearing, ,his wonderful melodious- ness of voice, es exhibited in his speech, had not faded from rho minds of di'le- gates and spectators and every mention of 1fi1LLr.tit T. BRYAN. his name brought forth hearty cheers that told the story of the e:tea hold he had upon those whole:+old mater or unmake hire in his Presidential aspirations, and upon the thonsands who were onlookers anti not active participants. The battle of the ballots eves to he fought with a dogged- ness that showed a firm deterinintion on the part of those pledge to particular candidates to bo eoneistent in the desire of their hearts, but little by little the standard of Bryan was 'reseed nearer and nearer to the point of vantage, and' may not be dwelt upon here. Chaugo followed change in the ballots cast by the various states, and all went to the man from the Platte, and when Illinois, Ohio, and finally Missouri, withdraw their strength to his support the race had been won, and 'William J. Bryan stood fortis in triumph as the leader of his party. Exhausted by cheering the name of the Nebraskan, the vasb congre- gation in thecolosseumwas slow to avail itself of the opportunity of displaying the full extent of its vigor, but it gran - ally rose to the demands of the occasion, and turned loose a volume of sound that 'made the iron roof tremble in unison. Every man and woman in the hall was standing as the Bryan supporters on the floor grasped the guidons, indicating the positions of the various states and marched in triumph through the aisles bounding the square spaces reserved for delegates, and the guidons of other states joined the procession the cheering became madly intense. Bland banners, Boles banners and emblems of other candidates fell in line, and the culminating point in the enthusiasm was reached when the Bland band, headed by the numerous transparencies bearing the Missourian's name, took step with the rest and bent their endeavors to Dixies' lively step, and when it was over the people fell back in their chairs. Chicago, July 12.•—Yesterday ended the most remarkable National Conven- tion since the Democratic party in 18de was rent asunder on the slavery issue. Yesterday the convention completed the work which split tho party in twain on the financial issue. Mr. Arthur Sewall, of Maine, a Bath shipbuilder and an ar- dent free coinage m:an, was named for Vice -President on the ticket headed by William J. Bryan. More than 160 delegates to the convene tion, all of whom, with the exception of the gold delegation from Wisconsin and a portion of the delegation from, Minnesota svho came from oast of the Alleghenies on Friday, refused to•partici- pate in the nomination of a presidential candidate on a free silver platform. Yes- terday more than 250 declined to partici- pate in a nomination for Vice -President Many of the gold delegates had left the city in disgust. The silver Democrats, who controlled the convention absolutely, and who alienated the east in order to erect the banner of silver, hope to secure support from the Populists of the west and south and the silver Republicans to recompense them for the loss which, the platform, and the ticket roust inevitably entail in the east. They hope to see all the hitherto discordant elements of silver rally to the standard which they have raised The nomination of .Mr. Sewall for Vice -President yesterday was perhaps even more of a surprise then that of Bryan for President on Friday: Bryan bad set the convention aflame with his eloquence, and his name was on every lip when the balloting began, but Mr. e ewall's name, in connection' with the Vice -Presidency, hall hardly been men- tioned, Admitted His Guilt• Brockville, July 8 --Risley, the .New York ,traveller, who forged several ehecks on his employers, Powids & Co., last winter, and who procured cash from two Brockville customers on those checks, to- day pleaded guilty to both indictments before Judge'McDonald.
